Pop quiz: how much are annual fossil fuel subsidies in the US?

A: there are no subsidies
B: Nobody knows
C: $10 b
D: $ 35 b
(Answer below)

-Days after publicly denying the existence of fossil fuel subsidies, Trump's top energy official, former fracking exec. Chris Wright, awarded $625M in new subsidies to coal. Oh, and he ordered Dept. of Energy staff to stop using the word "subsidies" to try to pull the wool over the public's eyes.

The fossil fuel subsidy denier-in-chief Fossil fuel companies are getting propped up with billions in tax dollars, but the U.S. energy secretary claims otherwise.

Excellent new piece from @emdashsanders.bsky.social on why the Trump admin is so keen to deny the existence of fossil fuel subsidies, featuring @whitehouse.senate.gov, @doctorvive.bsky.social, and @collinrees.bsky.social.

🕊️ Today, we take time to recognize the principle of non–violent resistance, championed by civil rights leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Even when subjected to brutal and oppressive conditions, they did not waver from their paths. #InternationalDayofNonviolence #HD102

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

OK billionaires, here's your chance to put your filthy money where your filthy mouth is! Rush to invest in... coal? LOL

Good headline correction. It’s not just Europeans of course, we Americans are far worse.

Remember these two handy - and terrifying — facts from @climatedad.bsky.social

"Fortunately, the success of today's climate movement does not require the same level of courage and sacrifice that the enslaved rebels or Union soldiers displayed. However, the demise of fossil fuels will likewise be initiated by the actions of a minority."

YouTube video by Paul Warburg Russia's New Crisis Could Be Their Worst One Yet

Interesting new video from Paul Warburg about Ukraine’s long term war strategy and how it is paying off. Worth watching - the impact on global emissions is huge: the complete dismantling of Russian fossil fuel infrastructure is part of the strategy.

Gus Speth is an inspiration to us all. Delighted to know he was part of #SunDay!

Ohioans learned about cheap, reliable solar power at @thirdactorg.bsky.social Sun Day events all across Ohio.

Solar is cheaper & reliable; there's no need to frack Ohio state parks and public lands for gas and oil!
